Just in time for me having no Aamir to evolve her! :(

edit: HA! found him! I thought he was G/D but he is actually D/G! :)

Rofl, I did the exact same thing except took one step further. I thought it was cauchemir needed to evolve her, so I maxed cauchemir to 70, evolved him and then realized my stupidity when I went to evolve her. Then had the same "wtf he's dark" moment looking for aamir in my box.

Overall not too impressed with awoken Pandora yet. I need to fix my subs though. I have two persephone so I need to work on her and getting haku going again. I think I'll just roll back the two I have and then ultimate evo the others.

What's the ideal team for her? I do have akechi, so that should help.
 
I'm liking the idea of Lilith fitting on my Pandora team. Other subs right now are Akechi, Hanzo, and Zuoh. Hopefully the healer girls are next in line for "reincarnate" evolution. She could really use an extra hundred weighted stats.

The general consensus seems to be A Pandora / superult Pandora / ult zuoh / akechi / flex / A Pandora

Where flex is a damage booster or true damage for arena (DL lilth, a Loki, a Luci) or a short orb changer for outside arena (d valk for instance)

I'm not really sure that SuperUlt Panda is a better sub for A. Panda than A. Panda. The extra RCV is nice, but I don't think Panda really needs another time extend and the TPA is as close to worthless for A. Panda as you can get. A. Panda's active is arguably more useful due to the Haste and the extra Row is very nice.

I did the same exact thing this morning. I haven't evo'd pand yet because I'm still farming mats - I have had the worst luck.

I also have too many pandora at this moment. I have one ult, two beach, one set for awakening and one I haven't touched yet. how the * am I supposted to skill any of them.

on the side I uvo'd Urd this morning. the change is almost irrelevant - the art is fantastic. She hits pretty hard on ShivaD team.

Apparently the JP player base made the switch from awoken to super ult because they also subbed in ult zuoh over dd haku - and zuoh has 0 rcv -so the extra rcv is "needed".

I'm not convinced either, but that's the current thinking!

Hm. I get it, but I still don't think the loss of a row and haste are worth it. Since the top tier is so Arena focused, I guess that extra RCV is important for endurance, but I think it's still a 6 in one way, half dozen in another scenario. Maybe I'll make my 3rd panda a super ult if I ever pull a Zuoh.

NA Challenge levels 9&10, zero stone. Both took 4 attempts to get right.

Don't mind the disappearing Zaerog for 9, late on the pic, but figured I'd post the team anyway for the curious. Hyper A.Amas and two more +297s to get over the HP damage for everything outside floor 3. Had to prep board and use all skills to burst there, but it went wrong a couple times and then I had one later floor death from puzzling fatigue.

Level 10 deaths were Vishnu related until I slotted Echidna, the MVP against him and Zera. I should really get around to hypering the superior Xmas version. Wish I had more reasons to run OPRaoh.

JP anniversary part 3, same as the first. 4x rates continue to be amazing, 3/6 Rodin, 3/5 Sanada, 5/8 Australis, etc. 4x PCGF looks great outside loser roll Fenrir, sad I didn't hold back stones from last time and recent egg farming. Should have four or five rolls, though. And it looks like the next set of Challenge Dungeons is coop only? Dammit. Well, going to have to bug some people to partner up since there's no way to get in otherwise.

George, could you please change to Goemon? I use it to farm +eggs, you are my only BFF with Goemon up!
He was used to farm 2000+ eggs the last few days :)

Where can I download the apk for this safely, Googled it there but Chrome is warning me not to use the sites I'm finding. Is this ever coming out in Europe on Android?

Sorry. Was farming Legelonte for Laila and Jize skillups and forgot to switch Goemon to a different BF slot. I usually keep him up at all times during 10x. He's up now. And 2000+ eggs off my lone Goemon?! He hasn't even gotten myself that many +eggs this event yet, lol. Then again, I haven't been having as much time to farm as I'd like and play time is still split among some other dungeons like Legelonte.

Thx! :)
Goemon, Master of Eggs

I think i will need around 1500 more, now that Yomidra, Pandora, A.Luci, D.Meta and ShivaDra teams are +egged, I will switch to egg my 2 D.Kalis, Orochi, Kanna, Isis, Indra and finally buy a RaDra when its up... Its criminal to have the perfect RaDra subs rotting in the box and not using them :)

New +egg piñata is co-op 25stam 20x mechdragons, apparently

Is it beatable solo? Granted 25 stam isn't a ton to burn to try myself but if it's hopeless I'd rather not test it.

Also I really need more stamina. +egg farming is rough as hell. I've only managed to get Bastet to +165 so far forget the rest of the subs. I'm hoping we get some of those 15 piis Bastet is the only non max skilled member of her own team. That being said, my Shiva team is putting in work. Being able to reliably clear mythical descends is like reaching the mountain top then seeing the much larger mountain behind it.

Will we be getting the 4x PCGF? if so depending on the picks I might whale pretty hard. There's a bunch of clutch subs I'd really like to have.

Yeah, I dig some digging and found the same scenario. Unfortunately, I don't have another Pandora to really make the team shine. I completely agree about Awoken Panda being the better sub over the ultimate version, with 3 of her on the team that is a lot of skill haste and spamming of abilities.

I'm probably looking at a team of 2 pandora leads, Akechi, Haku, Persephone, Lilith and maybe Z8. I'm one or two cards from having the perfect team from her, not sure if it is worth investing until i get those. I'll wait for Heroes to come around again and hope for the best.

Love the Urd art but I have never been so disapointed in an ultimate. Why even bother? A finger and an enhance orb, really?

I knew they wouldn't do anything major with her but I still had high hopes. Any type of buff to her damage and Shivadra becomes unnecessary. Plus comboing her with shivadra would become too strong. She's still my favorite farm team but is missing out by just a tiny bit for being able to clear the highest content.

It's not soloable. They took away solo mode and gave all of the dungeons half stamina instead.

Ended up getting my 4th Hathor and 3rd Pandora on the memorial rolls, 2 starter dragons from the present eggs, and I see the next set of challenge dungeons are going to be co-op. Also spent most of my stones during that last crappy godfest since I thought this was only going to be a 2 part event. Great way to start the day...

She might not be able to clear the highest content, but at least she's good for something. Skuld is the one that got screwed. Still as useless as ever, got an art downgrade, and couldn't even get all of the awakenings she should have because of the way the game's programmed.

For a Bastet team I would max skill her ASAP but not plus her. I would plus the main damage dealers first, Vishnu, Liu Bei and Mei Mei if you have them.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Just Yolo pulled Dupe Michael... Well guess now I have to work on that Astaroth squad.

Oh good, looks like the JP coop Challenge is available in the Special dungeon tab as well. Haven't tried anything yet, but I hope it's not too unbalanced.

Anyone up for swapping JP presents?

Have they removed the type restrictions in the US version for dungeons like Guan Yinping yet? I thought they have but puzzledragonx hasn't updated the dungeon info.

First 8 challenge dungeons are at the same level as they usually are. 9 is when they start inflating the damage and HP plus it has Scarlet at the end. Not even going to bother with 10. Permafrost Hera-Is, Vishnu, Goemon, Beel, topped off with Linthia.

No thanks. Already have over 30 light piis anyway.

Trying to get this rukia team going. Hope her army grows, she is way better then bastet. I'm only missing a decent fb changer, have to use a non max skill bsonia for now.

Now you tell me :p I've been plussing Bastet mostly to help friends. My Bastet squad is
A. Bastet
Verdandi
Liu Bei
Vishnu
Perseus
Friend A. Bastet
All max skilled and awoken, Bastet needs 2 more skill levels so I'm just waiting on Piis to finish her off.
Really feeling the lack of HP on the team though.

I ran my A. Amatersu team through endless and that's going to be a hilarious team once maxed out. If it doesn't kill you in one hit, you can't die. Pretty much exactly what I looking for out of that team. Gonna be a while though as Elia is a pain in the ass.

Wow, I am loving the 4x skill up rates. After the skill change I was able to max skill my Silvie and Ryune with only 9 or 10 masks each. Amazing!

I wasn't expecting there to be another part to the 4th anniversary event, so I've been using my stones on the Bleach collab. If I'd have known, then I probably would have saved more for the upcoming GF. Oh well.

Did so-so on my free memorial pulls.
iPhone: AA Luci (dupe) and Osiris (dupe)
iPad: Okuni (dupe) and Rozuel (new)

Don't need another AA Luci as my other one is already uuevo'd, though might keep him in case an Awoken comes. My first Osiris is max skilled, but I haven't used her at all.

My other Okuni is 297 (D/W) and I might keep this one just in case of an Awoken form. Rozuel is okay, but now I wish I had all of those skill up monsters that I got for her when I was trying to skill up my Ariel. I just fed them away since I didn't have her at the time.

Uh, this is actually insanely good. Looking at 70-100 eggs per stone if you are high enough rank. Here's a video demonstration from reddit:
http://youtu.be/qvFrkIft8wo

So the teams share skill boosts now, everything is up first floor. The game doesn't process turn switches after a damage skill kills a floor. You basically take turns button pushing through half the dungeon. Needs a Goemon and three decent direct damage subs like A.Ra, Rodin, Vritra, etc.

Assuming GungHo doesn't nerf this super fast, I'm down for this next time 20x mech is around. Already got Goemon and the right subs.

God damn that looks insane. I've got Goemon and one Vritra, wish I could make one of these teams to speed farm.

Inb4 they raise the plus egg caps or add some new thing we need to farm for units.

Well for C10, after browsing JP's teams during lunchtime, finally decided to sacrifice one of the two hypered Ronias: made a vid just for some good old memory

Planned using AShiva in C10 guess Roah is just more stable. Will try today after work.

But WHY
Could have just farmed Goemon for an hour?

Well, Urd's a good choice either way. Finally pulled the R/B version last Godfest and she's my next plus egg target after I skill her up today.

I don't know if Raoh is consistent, but he does have a big advantage against two floors and has very little drawback when you're blasting each floor in a turn or two.

I don't think I hate a single mat more than I hate the trifruits. Seriously, those things suck, The Jewels are better than those. At least with Jewel farming, you're guaranteed to get the one you want when you find one, the game hands them out not too infrequently for free, and the Descends you're farming usual give decent drops and EXP. The Trifruits skill up extremely useful monsters, have only a 1/3 chance to give what you want and the only redeeming other drop in their dungeon is the occasional baby tama.

I've run the Trifruit dungeon like 6 times today with zero Red drops and I need two of those monsters. Ugh.

PADX reporting a 4x rate Godfest for NA at the end of the month, along with the lvl 44 and +4/+4//+4 bonuses JP got. Heroes day 1, probably Constellation 2 on day 2.

Also hinting at PreDra guerrilla on the 27th. Before dark resists are even farmable? Ha! Time to buy some stones, go ham for latents, roll Godfest for 6*s, and then salt the whole Earth when they preemptively update us to Arena 2 before I even get the chance to farm regular Arena at all.
